I installed build 127 on my Netgear R7000 and love the look and features but i noticed a big drop in signal on both 2.4 and 5ghz. Where i was 4-5 bars on stock and dd-wrt firmwares, I am now at 1-2. I tried playing with country and transmission power, but no improvements. Any help please because I will be forced to dump the firmware (which I really do not want to) if I can't find a solution.

I have just installed build 129 on my R7000 and have noticed the same drop in signal strength when compared to the default Netgear firmware. Did you find a solution? If so I would be very grateful if you could share the details.
Cheers

I have the same problem with my R7000. Seeing good signal strenght with stock Netgear firmware and Merlin-Xvortex, but with Tomato it drops to the piont it can't get thru a sigle wall. Using Shibby 131.
I did some measurments with my lg G3 and app WiFi Analyzer and Fuke AirCheck. It showed severe signal strenght fluctuations. I posted my findings on Shibby's bug tracker but he treated my report as TRASH. Nice one Shibby. I cant tell signal is dropping 20dBm and rasing 20dBm again several times in a minute. Tested this on R7000 and rt-n16 and wrt54gl. All showed severe signal strengh fluctuations. With stock or merlin firmware signal is not fluctuating and has 10dBm more strenght. R7000 and tomato shibby 131arm is the same as rt-n16, exept 5g which is weaker than 2.4g, so no point posting more screens. But the signal fluctuations are the same. The mesurments done on Lg G3 are consistent with AirCheck so no point uploading them. wikidot want let me post a picture or a link because I have to low KARMA.
